Both - prestige and comfort in the same area (part 2)
Both - prestige and comfort in the same area (part 2)
When you start talking about Both, one of the most popular and most European areas of Alanya, you just want to remember the beautiful sandy beaches, equipped with all the amenities and even free wi-fi. But we already talked about beaches in our last article. And today we will discuss the so-called upper Both, the one that is located closer to the mountains, behind the bypass road.
Both are areas that are developing rapidly. State institutions, shops, bakeries, new cafes and restaurants are constantly being built and opened here.
The pride of the district is the new public hospital
At the end of last year, a new public hospital opened its doors for visitors in Oba. It is located near the shops of Metro and Koçtaş.
Compared with the old state clinic, this is a real European hospital. The service here is no worse than in any private institution.
To say that the clinic is big is to say nothing. There are more than one hundred departments here, including: ophthalmology, cardiology, antenatal clinic, psychiatry, orthopedic department, hemodialysis unit, maternity unit, own laboratory and so on. And of course there is an emergency room here.
But the most important thing for us, nationals of other states, is a reception for foreigners, where they speak five different languages (Russian, English, German, French, Arabic). So the language barrier will not be an obstacle to make an appointment with a doctor.
By the way, Oba also houses the Lazergöz laser therapy center, where laser vision correction operations are performed.
Great shopping in both
When we think about buying an apartment in Turkey, we, of course, want everything to be at hand. So here in both is just that way. Here, behind the bypass road are all the largest shops in the city.
This is the Metro hypermarket - the store of the well-known European chain, where you can find everything from clothing and cosmetics to food and household goods. In addition, in the Metro you can find those foreign products that can not be found on the shelves of ordinary Turkish shops.
This is a store Koçtaş - a supermarket of household goods, and with enough budget. Here they sell everything - furniture, plumbing, garden furniture and other necessary goods in everyday life.
Right on the border of Oba and Cikcilli is the shopping center Alanyum. This is a two-story mall, where there are departments of the most popular Turkish brands of clothing and footwear. There is also a large store of household appliances and children's toys.
Universities and the best schools in the same area
Both are areas that are great for families with children. And if in your plans to buy property in Turkey and move here for permanent residence with the whole family, then Obu should not be underestimated.
First, here is one of the branches of one of the best universities in the country - Başkent Üniversitesi.
Secondly, it is in Oba that most of the private schools and lyceums are concentrated. Ted Koleji, Bahçeşehir Alanya Schools, Waldorf Özel Yaşam Okulları and other educational institutions are located here.
Delightful nature and orange gardens
Both are a small paradise for those who like to relax and live in harmony with nature.
Oba çay River flows into Oba, by the way, it is thanks to her that the district got its name. So if by the sea the river is not so picturesque, then to the side of the mountains is a real heavenly place surrounded by sprawling trees and flowers.
If in summer the river is more like a shallow stream, then with the beginning of the rainy season its course is filled. Hurrying to the sea mountain river, you can admire the clock.
Small green squares are broken along the river, where you can just sit, read a book, enjoy the surrounding beauty or have a small picnic. And so that the elements did not overflow, it was “enclosed” in beautiful stone chains. Therefore, the river embankment always looks very well-groomed and beautiful.
In the upper part of Oba there are a huge number of orchards. Imagine what a pleasure it is to stroll through a shady orange garden. By the way, this can be done easily without obtaining special permits, since the gardens in Alanya do not hide behind barbed wire or fences.
True, you should not think that you can safely take and carry a couple of kilograms of fruit home. At least here it is not accepted, and if you are “caught”, you can make problems with the law. But no one forbids walking in the picturesque gardens!
In Both, at the top and at the bottom of it, new modern residential complexes are constantly being built. And apartments in Turkey are very popular here, because it is prestigious to live here, and every day spent in your own apartment is a comfort in the neighborhood with amazing nature and all the amenities of the city infrastructure.
